Welcome to GovTrack.us

Thank you for giving GovTrack a try. Like OpenCongress, GovTrack is for researching and tracking legislation before the U.S. Congress.

★

Things here should seem very familiar to you. OpenCongress and GovTrack have always had a data sharing partnership, so you’ll find the exact same information here as what you had on OpenCongress, just arranged a little differently.

And GovTrack has actually been here for more than a decade. This is the site that began the movement to improve access to Congress using technology.

Congress is about to wake up.

When President-elect Trump takes office on January 20, the House, Senate, and White House will be controlled by the same party for the first time in six years.

Things are going to happen fast. Congress is expected to move quickly on Trump's agenda using the same tactics immune to the filibuster that Democrats used to enact the Affordable Care Act in 2010.

Now more than ever we need transparency in Congress.

Over the last year we’ve helped 10 million Americans track Congress using bill alerts. We hope to continue GovTrack Insider, where we put the most important legislation into plain English. We've also worked with Congress on improving transparency at the source.

We now need your help. We’re simply out of money. We can’t continue GovTrack Insider or improve our bill tracking tools without your financial support. Important pieces of GovTrack will end on December 31 if we can’t pay for it. If you are able, please:
